SIGNED WITH MY BLOOD.
BY CAPTAIW noWAHD.
In tlie spring of 1850 I entered the
detectivo force. I will not here give
tho whys and wherefores for so doing,
but leave the reader to conjecture. It
is said that when a man becomes a de
tective a mau hunter he is desper
ate. Tho saying was applicable to my
step. But why did you do it, Captain?
asks an inquisitive reader. Perhaps,
my dear friend, I had been jilted ; per
haps a great commercial crash had left
me penniless, or doubtless I found the
years of bachelorhood gathering
around me, and I, with "no visible
means of support."' The last conjec
sure is most probable ; don't you think
so ?
But to the story to the leaf I pluck
from the story of a detective's life.
I was seated one morning on the
steps of tho W House, awaiting
for breakfast, when little Dick, the er
rand boy of headquarters, ran up aud
whispered in my ear:
"Captain, the chief wants you,"
"Is his business urgent, Dick?" I
asked, for I did not relish a walk with
an empty stomach.
No; you can cat your brenkfust,"
and the boy bounded away.
After partaking of my morning's
meal, consisting of coffee, ham and
eggs a dish I relish I sauntered
away toward headquarters. As I enter
ed Eighth street, I saw several groups
of men talking excitedly, and I knew
that something important had taken
place, with which my summons to
headquarters was connected. I quick
ed my steps, and not long afterwards
stepped into the office.
"Take a chair, Howard," said Mat-
sell.
I seated myself, and he continued ;
"A murder was committed last night.
Some person or persons assassinated
"Ihey did 1" I exclaimed.
"Yes, you will have to work out the
caso, as the rest oi tne ierce are en
gaged. A reward of five ihousand
dollars is olTorcd for the arrest of the
murderer."
"I will do what I can to bring him
to justice," I answered, "and will pro
ceed at once to tho scene of the mid
night murder."
I went direct to the banker's man
sion, and was shown to the room where
tho body still lay as it had been found.
An examination of it an the chamber
gave me a clue by which I hoped to
secure the villains, for I knew that two
persons were concerned in the tragedy
I went to work with success in the dis
tance, and in a month felt the rogues
almost within my grasp. But on tho
threshold of accomplishment X was
thwarted.
One night, as I was standing by a
lamp post my head bowed upon my
breast, mcditatingly, a hand touched
my arm, and looking up, I confronted
a nchlv clad female. Her luce was
covered by a veil, through which
caught a gleam of her eyes fiery eyes
like the flashes of lightning from an
inky ky.
"Ah ! I have found you at last, have
I ?" she said.
"It seems so," I repeated. "What
do you want with me ?"
"Do you ever listen to death-bed con
fessions ?"
"Very often'
"I have a friend who is nearing the
portals of that undiscovered country
He has a secret one that he has car
ried in his heart these many years
which he wishes to confide to you."
"Why to me ?" I asked. "There aro
ministers who will hear it and soothe
his dying moments with comfortable
thoughts."
'He will confess to you alone, as his
confession is about a case you worked
in once. Will you go ?"
I hesitated. The woman might be
sicere, or she might be a decoy to lead
me into a net set by thieves and mu
deres, who w ibbed to rid the world of
mo. But what case I had worked on
I started. Perhaps he knew about th
great Martin mystery, upon which I
was engaged for two years.
Without aejpering the woman's
question, I asked her one.
"Where is your fried?"
"I will not tell you, sir. If you go,
Republican.
in that Faith let us to tho end,
say as much, or he will die aud leave
thesccretuntold."
"What is his name then ?"
"Ah ! vou doubt my sincerity. I will
go"
And she stepped awny.
I reflected a moment, and resolvod
to accompany her, let good or efil bo
the result. I sprang forward and
touched her arm.
"I will accompany you."
"Thanks, she said, turning. "Allow
mo to bandage you eyes."
I protested against such a proceed
ing,' but finding her inexorable, I suf
fered myself to be blindfolded.
On we went. I tried to enter into a
conversation with my mysterious guide
ut was unsuccessful. I gained no in
formation, save that the man to whom
was being condudtcd lay dying in a
raseracnt. After walking some dis
tance, a mile or two I should judge,
we stopped. My guido knocked at a
door, which was opened. Down a flight
of steps 1 was led till another door
as reached, which opened. I was
pushed forward, the woman saying !
"He is here."
I heard the door shut, the key turn
ed, and steps ascend the stairs. I tore
the bandage from my eyes and looked
araund. I was in a small room, evi
dently a cellar, in a poor portion of
lie city, for the apartment was very
small, A lamp burned upon a rude
table, upon which lay writing mater
ials. But what attracted my attention
nioBt was two masked men, a few feet
from me, directing two pistols at my
breast. I had been deceived and
drawn into a murderer's net.
Quick ns thought my hand moved to
my revolver, but the ouminous click
click, checked me.
"Two can play at that game, Tom
Howard ?" said one the masks.
"You know me then ?"
"Of course we do ; and take great
pleasure in informing you that your
?" I ventured to say.
"Well no yes. If you sign a cer
tain instrument of writing, you live.
If not you die."
"I would like to know in whose pres
ence I stand," said I, stepping forward.
"The murderers of John Royston,
the banker," replied the masks.
I recognized one of tho voices m-
tantly. as belonging to a tall dark-faced
fellow, who for some months I had folt
lowed like a sleuth hound.
"Ha!" I cried, "It is you, my co
vey, iwo days more una your career
of crime would have ended."
"You must catch a Inau before you
anirhim. my dear Howard," was tho
taunting rejoincr.
"We'll see, sir."
"A truce to this badinage," said one
of the men, stepping up to the table,
while ho companion kept a pistol at
my breast, "you must sign this paper
if you value your life.
I went to the table and read tho fol
lowing oath, written in an uneven but
legible chirography :
""I, Thomas Howard, a detective, do
solemnly swear that I will desist from
the pursuit of tho murderers of John
Royston, banker, for the period of one
year, so help mo God.
"Signed with my own blood, this,
the 15th day of July, 185-."
I turned to tlie meu after reading it,
9 & .
and said:
"What does 'signed with my own
blood' mean?"
"Exactly what is said," was the one
elucidating reply.
. "Then I refuse to sign."
"You aro rash. Tom Howard. Tlie
bond is good for one year only. Sign
it and live."
There was something so significant
this last sentence that I changed my
resolution.
, "I will sign," I said, "but at tho end
of the year mentioned in my bond,
will hunt you down, and bring you be
fore and outraged justice.
"No boasting, sir ; inako ready
have some blood spilled ;" and one of
the assassins laid asido his pistol, an
produced a lancet.
I bared mv arm to the elbow : but
he laughed, saying :
"Not your arm Howard ; tho blood
must come from nearest tho heart.
Bare your bosom."
"Is this another Shylock affair?"
"No sir; we want no flesh; merely
blood."
dare do our duty as we understand it"--LINCOLN.
I bared my breast; ho mado an
incision directly over my heart; caught
the blood in a spoon, dipped a pen in
to it, and placed it in my hand. I bent
forward aud signed tho bond. The
bandago was then replaced over my
eyes, the woman who had brought me
then appeared, and conducted me
through several streets, whan she sud
denly left me. I removed tho kerchief,
went to headquarters, and annouueed
my intention of sticking to my oath.
TheRoyston case was put into the
hands of Dick Clay, whilo I was do
tailed to J work up a, burglary.
Time passed, when one morning I
was summoned to the city prison, to
hear the confession of a woman who
attempted suicide. She was dying but
a faint smilo appeared on her hectic
cheeks as I entered the cell.
"Mr. Howard;" said she, "I have
laid violent hands upon my life, and
am dying. I Font for you. Let mo
see, this is the , "
"Eleventh of July," I answered, see
ing her hesitate.
"One year ago come to-morrow n igh t,
you signed a bond to desist from pursu
ing the murderers of John Royston."
"I did."
"The bond is null and void to-morrow
night, and you aro at liberty to
pursue them."
"Which I intend doing."
"Listen then to my confession. One
year ago two meu entered John Roy
ston's house and murdered him. I as
sisted theni. We escaped detection
until you got on our tracks, We in
tended to leave the city, but you re
member how you foiled us. You wre
weaving your web around us, and there
was left but one course by which we
might escape. I decoyed you into that
cellar, where you gave a bond not to
follow us.
"Tho men left this city, but I re
mained, as I did not fear Dick Clay.
It was I who sent him on a false trail,
earing myself. Tho real murderers
aro in Paris at this time."
How will I find them in tho great
city? Can you give mo no clue?"
They purchased a flower store with
tho money taken from Royston's safe.
There is a letter under my pillow. Its
contents may throw some light on their
exact whereabouts. Tho names are
bend nearer are
"What?" I cried.
"Ran Ran . I am gone!" and she
fell back dead.
I got tho letter she had spoken of,
but it hclpcjj mo not at all. It was
dated at Paris, and had two Y's in the
place of a signature.
I went to Paris in the next vessel,
and arriviug there, searched two weeks,
but in vain. I was on the point of
giving up, when I encountered an
American a jeweler who had resided
in Paris some years. I inquired of him
f he knew ofuny flower store kept by
Americans. Yes, he know of but ono,
Rue Beppo. He believed it was owned
by "Ranliu & Bro." That was tho
placo I was hunting, for tho names that
tho dying woman had tried to pro
nounce began thus : "Ran tho re'
maiuder was "lin."
But tho Rue Beppo was tho last
placo on earth that I would have look
ed for a flower store.
When I reached my hotel, I set to
work and removed the heavy beard
and mustache which adorned my face,
and repaired to the Rue Beppo. I en
tercd the flower store, and a clerk
awaited my pleasure. I desired to see
the proprietors. They appeared, and
I introduced myself a Geo. Hall, of
Galveston. They did not recogn,' me,
I could hardly resti dopendxdf when
iu the persons of the fi;m i recoguized
tho murderers of the banker.
"Gentlemen," said I, after talking a
while with them, "were vou ever hi
New York ?"
"Oh, yes." said one, "wo lived there
several years."
"Did you know ono Annie Graham
residing there ?"
Their lips grew ashy, and they rose
to their feet.
"What of her?"
"She is dead."
"Well?"
'And before she died ehe confessed
, They stepped forward, shoutiug :
"Who aro you?"
"Tom Howard, at your service."
Aud ut the fame time I drew a brace
$2 PER ANNUM.
of revolvers, and leveled them at their
heads. "Gentlemen, the bond having
expired, I havo dono what I said I
would do that night. I have tracked
you, and now you ase my prisoners,
como with rac."
Weak as lambs, they followed, speak
ing not a word. At the door we were
met by a squad of French Police, whom
I had stationed near as reinforcements
in case of necessity. Tho villains were
locked up till a vessel sailed for tho
United States, and I had the pleasure
of being their companion during the
voyage.
When the sliip reached New York I
delivered my passengers over to the
authorities, who tried them, found them
guilty, and they expiated their crimes
on the scaflbld. ' The people were sur
prised when they learned of the detec
tion of the Royston murderers after
such a lapse of time. They did not
know that I wn under a bond for one
year. . '
Got the Wrong Coat.
A few evenings since a party of
friends met at a social gathering at a
fashionable restaurant. Some were
bachelors, and some were in tho enjoy
ment of "Heaven's best gift to man."
The evening was cold and chilly, and
most of them wore overcoats. Two of
them were nearly alike, and were own
ed respectively by Charley G and
Charley S , ono of them married
and tho other single, and a wild, rak
ish sort of a fellow, who, as fast as he
was out of one scrape was into another.
His pockets were always full of rose-
colored missives and love tokens. His
heart was desolate out of the sunny
glances of womankind, yet his adven
turesome head never permitted the
matrimonial nooso to curl around it.
His friend, Charley G , is a sober
man, cherished by a bright-eyejl but
jealous-hearted little wife, who loves
him tenderly. He found it difficult to
UK Ulll u - . t
It was given at Inst with tha nnrW
standing that ho would como home
early. Ho didn't, however, but sat
late, so very late, indeed, that he slept
soui.dly the next morning until the sun
was far advanced toward the zenith.
He had met with a misfortune, having
stumbled on his way home, and rolled
over in the muddy street. His wife,
however, sat about repairing tho mis
hap the next morning, by cleansing the
muddy overcoat. A hue engaged in
this occupation, her baud, by the mer
est chance in tho world, strayed into
ono of tho 6ido pockets of his coat, and
ncountering a neatly-folded billet
doux superscribed simply to Charley,
read :
Do not go to that horrid supper,
love, but como to me instead. I am so
lonely. Your devoted,
Kate.
Oh, my! but tho little blue eyes
flashed tho color came and went upon
cheek and forehead when sho read
tho lines. There was a moment's pause
as if to still tho intensity of passion(
and then Mr. G was rudely shaken
from bis rest. "What's tho meaning
of this, sir?" and the little hands trem
bled with passion as tho offending pa
per was held un before the culpi it. "I
don't know. Who brought it ?
"Who brought it, sir? I found it in
vour coat pocket, Mr G . I want
w
an explanation ; I will have one ; and
I want a divorce, too !" Ho protested
ho knew nothing of the note; he did
not know how the treacherous little
thing came iu his coat pocket. He ap;
pealed to hia wife's good souse. She
would hear no denial, but instead, made
another dive into hU coat pocket. An
other little missive rewarded her search
It was brlm-fol of the tenderest endear
ments, and was dated only two days
back, but was in another hand-writing,
very beautiful, and signed "Jeuuio."
"Oh! you Turk juBt look at that!'
and while Charley's bewildered eye9
were perusing tho letter, another visit
was made to tho receptacle of love
another letter came out. It was equal
Iv delicato. but full of upbraiding. It
called Charley cruel, fulse, deceitful
said that "Fannio's broken heart would
be laid at his door," said "his once
loved darling would die early."
Tho lips were now white with rago
tho blue eyes all aflame with fire, tin
little willow form drawn up to its full
est hcitrht. Charlie never saw her

come !"
